I have spent a good part of my afternoon reading all the threads in this forum. I found it got a lot more interesting the closer we got to now.
I have a few things I would like to say. I found the recipes posted excellent, I will definitely be trying the majority of them. I was surprised prawns were not mentioned once ( unless I missed that thread).
What I did pick up on was quite a few of you ask questions regarding what foods you can eat, I personally do not believe the list Cambridge has recommended is 100% accurate of all we can eat. I have been googling, checking foods I can add. One of you asked about olives, I checked and can see no reason why not! We can have Tuna in brine, why not olives, they have tiny traces of carbs and fat, not really worth a mention. The same goes for fresh Tomatoe, one chopped up added to a salad would make minimal difference to what we should eat, it does give a nicer taste to a plain green salad especially with a few pitted olives added, therefore much less boring.
I have been on the Cambridge diet before, very successfully. I am now older and my tastebuds have matured, hence the reason for all my interest. I DO want to be a winner again! This time I will be rechecking foods that I think I could eat that possibly should be on THE list.
One more thing on my first thread, I had not heard of ketosis, never been mentioned to me! Does anyone else's consultant talk to them about it? I did read a blog, that mentioned being given two sticks to pee on that let you know if you had reached ketosis, not unlike a pregnancy test.
Looking forward to reading lots more threads.
Cheers (with my big glass of water!)
